We love art in the street so much that we decided to make it a twinship monthly post. This month’s twinship art spotlight is Retna. At first glance, Retna’s work looks like a collage of arbitrary symbols…but when you look closer, you’ll discover that those “arbitrary symbols” are an original alphabet that he created influenced by Egyptian hieroglyphics, Arabic, Herbrew, and graffiti.

Retna makes graffiti art sophisticated and well…legal. So is Retna speaking your language? Tell us what you think.

Our mother (who we love with all our hearts) is not THE most fashionable woman on the planet. We’ve given her a few Twinship makeovers in the past but for the most part our mother rocks to the beat of her own habesha drum.

A few weeks ago our mother decided to design a summer dress for us. We would wear anything our mother designed, but when she called and told us that she was, “getting pink-puffy flowers from Jo-Ann Fabrics,” we prayed we weren’t going to end up looking like pink piñatas!

Well, we got our specially designed dresses last Monday and to our surprise…we really love them! Could our mother actually be a couture designer deep down inside? Come on…can’t you spot a lil’ Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad in there? Ha!

Of course we had to pay tribute to our new fav dresses in true Twinship style! So we walked around our neighborhood, pairing our new dresses with our invisible crowns, not giving a care in the world!

Thank you mom for always making us feel special and for showing us that you don’t need a reason to look/be fabulous. You’re the best!

It’s officially summer– time to relax, have fun, unwind and crack open a new book.We have to confess, we love reading, but nowadays we’ve been so busy with our startup (we’re in the seed stage round), finishing a book is a challenge.

So with said, here are a few of our fav books that motivate us to lean in and to continue our path of being a #Girlboss.
